Nigeria’s former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, claimed that electricity generation in the country peaked at over 6,000 megawatts (MW) during his tenure.

The minister, who resigned last week, also stated that available generation capacity was between 3,500MW and 4,500MW when he assumed office in August 2023. The claim was made in his resignation letter dated April 22, 2026 with reference number FMP/HM/SGF/026/I/001.


“When I assumed office in 2023, the power sector was confronted with significant structural and operational challenges. Available generation capacity was between 3,500 and 4,500 megawatts despite an installed capacity of over 13,000 megawatts.”


Daily Trust- FACT CHECK: Did Nigeria’s power generation exceed 6,000MW as Adelabu claimed?

Adebayo Adelabu

[b]“However, under your visionary leadership and the Renewed Hope Agenda, the sector has recorded measurable progress across the entire electricity value chain. Key achievements during this period include the successful implementation of the Electricity Act 2023, which has decentralized the electricity market and created a more investment-friendly framework. Peak generation has increased to over 6,000 megawatts, supported by the integration of the Zungeru Hydropower Plant and the rehabilitation of several thermal power assets,” [/b]he said.


To verify the claim, Daily Trust obtained electricity generation data from the Association of Power Generation Companies (APGC) and the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), covering quarterly performance from 2023 to 2025 and monthly data from January to March 2026.

Nigeria’s power sector has long struggled with inadequate and unreliable electricity supply despite repeated reforms and policy interventions. Installed capacity has consistently exceeded 13,000MW, yet actual electricity delivered to consumers remains far lower due to constraints in generation, transmission, and distribution.

No evidence of 6,000MW peak generation

Data from APGC shows that Nigeria’s grid never recorded a verified peak generation of 6,000MW or higher within the reviewed period: 2023: Peak ~5,000MW; 2024: Peak ~5,528MW; 2025: Peak ranged between ~5,300MW and ~5,801MW and 2026 (early months): Available capacity declined to ~4,089MW by March.

While generation approached the 6,000MW mark, it did not surpass it based on verified industry records.

NERC data shows fluctuating capacity, not sustained growth

Quarterly data from NERC indicates a volatile pattern.

Average Generation Capacity rose to 4,922MW in Q4 2023 shortly after Adelabu assumed office from 4211.44MW in Q3, 2023. It dropped to 4,249MW in Q1 2024, recovered to ~5,296MW by Q4 2024 and then ~5,430MW in Q3 2025 before declining to ~4,089MW by March 2026.

This trend reflects inconsistency rather than a sustained breakthrough in generation performance.

Experts warn against misinterpreting “peak generation”

According to APGC CEO, Joy Ogaji, confusion often arises from mixing different power sector metrics:

Installed capacity: ~13,000–14,000MW
Available capacity: ~4,900–7,300MW
Peak generation: ~5,000–5,800MW
Average delivered power: ~4,100–4,600MW


These figures are not interchangeable. Peak generation represents a momentary high point, not sustained output.

For instance, even when peak generation reached about 5,528MW in 2024, average supply remained around 4,100–4,200MW, revealing a significant gap between potential and actual delivery.

Structural constraints limit real output

Although Nigeria’s power generation has approached 6,000MW under optimal conditions, there is no verified evidence that it exceeded that threshold during Adelabu’s tenure.

Verdict: False

[i]The claim that Nigeria’s power generation peaked at over 6,000MW is not supported by verified industry data. Although Nigeria’s average available generation stood slightly above 4000MW when Adelabu assumed office, Peak generation remained below the 6000MW mark, while average electricity supply continued to lag significantly behind installed capacity.[/i

The marriage between popular businessman Olakunle Churchill and Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer has hit the rocks

Sources confirmed to LIB that Meurer filed for the dissolution of the marriage on Monday, April 21, 2026, officially ending the union contracted in 2021. The couple, who have two children together, have also heightened separation rumors by unfollowing each other on Instagram.

The development marks a dramatic turn in a relationship that has long been shrouded in controversy. Meurer was previously accused by actress, Tonto Dikeh, Churchill’s ex-wife, of having an affair with him before their 2017 split. Following his divorce from Dikeh, Churchill married Meurer in 2021, and they subsequently welcomed two children.

This latest separation comes shortly after reconciliation efforts between Churchill and his ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh, with both parties recently coming together to celebrate their son's birthday.

While neither party has released an official statement regarding the cause of the split, Churchill shared a cryptic post this afternoon, stating that if he is ever in a situation where he has to choose between anyone else or his kids, he will be choosing his kids.

Back in 2022/23, during the campaign run up to the 2023 elections, Peter Obi traveled to Egypt to study how they solved their power crisis, a fix so successful they now run a surplus. He wanted to see if that model could work for Nigeria.

What did he get for it? Attacks.
APC supporters mocked him, insisting the Buhari led APC government had already signed a deal with the same Siemens that handled Egypt’s turnaround. Photos of transformers circulated. “It’s done,” they said. “Obi is late.”

Fast forward to 2026. Four years have passed. Another election cycle is here. APC is still in power.

for context, the deal was signed in 2018 to add 25,000MW to our electricity generation. It's been 8yrs since that deal was signed.

So, where is the Siemens deal?
Where is the electricity?

Where are the transformers we were shown back then? Where is the megawatt increase Nigerians were promised under the Presidential Power Initiative with Siemens?

If the deal was real and executed, why are we still battling the same grid collapses and poor supply? If it failed, why the silence?

We can’t pretend this is not a question worth asking. Before we start debating 2027, Nigerians deserve an account of the last promises made.

To the APC supporters and defenders who told us the Siemens deal was already "settled" in 2022: where is it?

Power is not propaganda. It’s either in your sockets or it is not. And right now, the only thing Nigerians can see clearly is darkness.

Where is the Siemens deal?
Where is the electricity?

You cannot separate lies from APC

no vex, wetin soapy demon dey do?

Regret immediately after the act. You hate yourself and feel bad and wonder why you cant get a woman to Nak. Then you feel tired and worn out. At that state, you cant conquer anything as a man. Common gym you no fit go. But alcohol takes out of depression temporarily, gives you joy and social vibes temporally but the next morning, you hate yourself due to hangover

It is easier to stop alcohol than soapy. Immediately only you dey, the spirit go enter wam. Plus the bad luck wey e dey carry come

12345baba:

Yes alcohol na the worst in terms of health but na soapy demon wicked pass

Hungrychicken:
I used to order OS before, that shit is one very difficult habit to get out of. What started as a first time experience turned to multiple encounters and then an habit.

I checked my hookup log last year , I don order more times than I could imagine. Sometimes, twice in a week. Even borrowed money from Palmpay when I need to feed the habit. My last card was not even spared.
When I feel bored I order os. I was almost getting into the lifestyle of exploring threesomes. Thank God I never had the chance for that.

My problem was that I was alone and always at home. I started to feel those thoughts and gave in easily. What I did was change states and stopped taking calls from my old friends.
When I got to a different state, the thought to explore was starting to linger, but I shut it down. I don’t want to entertain it anymore.

My advice:

Change environments,
Cut off those old contacts,
Starve the habit and thought, over time you’ll gain more control

Yes any habit you want to stop, starve it for 21 days. The issue na to decide am

Sinkara:
Please help me
I can't seem to concentrate
I masturbate everyday
And if I get small money, I go to brothel, have sex with more than 3 girls and still go home and masturbate
I guess alcohol is my major problem because I tend to make these brothel decisions when I'm drunk
Working in the brewery doesn't help me, I have access to alcohol a lot
So I have made a decision going forward to avoid alcohol
If I do that, my brothel addiction will reduce a lot
But for masturbation, it's really hard to go 3 days without masturbating
I don't know how I can tackle that

I think say na my life worst pass as an alcohol addict. You come add ashawo and soapy on top your wahala. Your own don finish sha....

If you can stop the soapy first... Then there is hope if not, no hope for you

Popular Nigerian streamer, Peller, has disclosed that his mother doesn’t want him to give money to his father.

He made this disclosure while reacting to content creator, GehGeh’s family controversy on social media.

TheSource reports that GehGeh’s younger sister had called him out for abandoning his siblings despite being rich.

In response, GehGeh who stated that he is the first person to become rich in his lineage, however, noted that “I never get the kind of money wey fit raise family from poverty.”

Expressing fear of becoming poor if he continues to help his family, GehGeh said: “I can only do my best and not my all”, and advised his siblings to go look for jobs.

Reacting to the controversy, Peller during a Livestream, noted that his father once threatened to drag him.

While explaining how much money he had given to his father, including a car gift, Peller, who complained of financial pressure from his father, stated that his mom doesn’t want him to give his father money.

“You see the way all GehGeh family are dragging him online, my own go worse. And it might be my daddy because they have threatened me with it before. And I have given these people a lot.

“My mummy was even telling me to stop. My mummy no won make I dey give my daddy anything, but I keep giving him money because he paid for my school fees while growing up.

“My daddy still asked me for money the very day that I gave him a car. I gave him the money, and he still called me the following day to ask for more money.

“If I tell you guys how many shops I have opened for my mummy, you go run”, he said.

TheSource reports that the content creator had during an interview with Frank Edoho last year, narrated how his parents’ separation affected his formative years, blaming his academic woes on his parents’ divorce.

Good day my Nairaland fam.

Please,matured minds in the house,is it a good thing for a man to help his ex girlfriend who's now married, financially. She used to be someone whom I loved so dearly in the past but unfortunately,she broke up with me immediately she met someone who was already asking her hand in marriage. It's been over 3 years since she got married and I made sure I cut every bit of communication between us. Out of the blue,I don't know who gave her my number. She called me,and apologized for what she did to me. Even before she could ask for my help,I already knew her husband wasn't financially buoyant like I thought. She said she wants to open a provision store ,cuz immediately after they got married,they relocated to Lagos. And she asked for my assistance.

So,I don't know if it's appropriate at all to help her, considering how she left me emotionally stranded when I needed her the most in my life. Tho I've completely moved on with my life,but receiving a call from her brought back a whole lot of memories.

Please,my fellow Nairalanders, reason with me. Should I help her out?

Hope your Mama get provision store
